Tourism EXPO Japan 2025 Aichi/Central Japan

National Parks of Japan (Setonaikai National Park / Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park)
Setonaikai National Park
Foreigners who visited Japan from the Edo period (1603-1867) to the modern era raved about the islands of the Seto Inland Sea seen from ships, terraced fields, fishing villages, shrines and other scenes of human life visible from the sea, which are described in many travel books.
The Seto Inland Sea was formed by plate movement, from which the Seto Inland Sea style climate emerged, people lived in the region, and goods, culture, and industry were exchanged and developed through the sea and ships.
The Seto Inland Sea has a story of people and regions that have lived in harmony with the nature around them, and it is a place where people can take time off from their hectic daily lives to relax and reflect.
The Seto Inland Sea National Park is easy to access from major transportation facilities such as railroads and airports, and there are many direct flights to and from hub airports, making it easy to organize an itinerary.
The national park and surrounding areas offer a wide variety of lodging facilities, including luxury hotels, hot spring inns, guesthouses, private accommodations, and campgrounds.
Ferries, yachts and other boats, as well as bicycles, provide not only transportation but also a way to enjoy the scenery and atmosphere of the area.
The islands can be viewed from boats and observation points at different times of the day and in different seasons, creating time to do nothing.
We can propose a model course that follows the theme and provide consultation.
・If you would like to experience the Seto Inland Sea in a relaxing way away from the hustle and bustle, such as glamping or yachting on a deserted island for rent, we can provide you with a guided tour or consultation by a local guide.
Visitors who would like to experience the Seto Inland Sea in a relaxed atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city, such as glamping or yachting for rent on a desert island.
I would like to learn about the history and nature of the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, and to reflect on them as I learn about them.
Through the experience, children as well as adults will learn about the "diverse Seto Inland Sea.
We will propose plans to meet various targets and objectives.
Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park
Located in the southwestern part of Shikoku, both Ehime and Kochi prefectures are influenced by the Kuroshio Current, but the topographical formations are different and there are differences in scenery, industry, culture and other characteristics.
Accessibility is not great; it takes 3 hours from Kochi Airport to Cape Ashizuri! It takes 2.5 hours from Matsuyama Airport to Uwajima! But once you get there, you will be glad you came, and you will see landscapes that you have never seen before. In addition to diving, you can also enjoy snorkeling and glass-bottomed boats from which you can see underwater coral, making it a great place for people of all ages and genders.
■The Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park's main points of interest are as follows!
The number and diversity of fish species is one of the highest in Japan, with approximately 1,400 species reported.
→The park offers a wide variety of marine activities such as surfing, diving, snorkeling, and glass-bottom boats.
The Ashizuri area facing the Pacific Ocean has dynamic topography with cliffs, caves, and otherworldly coastlines.
The Uwakai area, facing the Bungo Channel, has a rias coastline and islands.
Inland areas include valleys characterized by smooth rocks.
A wealth of activities
include surfing, diving, snorkeling, glass boating, canyoning, trekking, fishing, and more.
People live based on the nature nurtured by the Kuroshio Current and the topography, and you can see the differences of each industry and culture, such as culture, industry, and lifestyle.
→For example, the Ashizuri area has a thriving fishing industry that "catches" bonito and other seafood, while the Uwakai area has a thriving aquaculture industry that "nurtures" sea bream and pearls, and both boast some of the highest quality and production in Japan. We also recommend the local cuisine that can only be found in the Uwakai region.
Proposals and consultation for model courses based on the theme
・As it is a little far from major transportation, we recommend a longer stay of at least 3 nights and 4 days
・Proposals for nature experience activities
・Learning about the Geopark and educational plans related to the SDG's, etc.
・May be a little inconvenient, but it is perfect for those who prefer less touristy places, such as "I want to visit places where my friends around me have never been" or "I want to see coral.
